South Coast & Westman Islands

Itinerary created by

Gunnar Freyr Gunnarsson

What you’ll do

Explore the Incredible South Coast and Westman Islands of Iceland. On this trip, you will experience some of the most beautiful spots in Iceland - and if you’re traveling in the summer time, you will get to experience the puffin season too

On day one, you will get a small taste of the Icelandic South Coast - before continuing the adventure to the incredible Westman Islands. This is really one of my favourite parts of Iceland. I definitely recommend you stay one night on the Westman Islands before continuing back on the South Coast. Make sure to book your ferry on www.herjolfur.is
